Thanks for the swift reply, but that does look a bit like the sales pitch rather than the real capability and potential.
I'm guessing that it can't actually give more info. than "there is a small group of vehicles over there, going that way etc." which in the present climate isn't much use unless we have a positive I.D. I understand that Joint STARS was useful in Gulf War 1, but was it used successfully in any other conflict since? When you talk about high res. does that mean that the radar has to stop it's area search to build up the image? Finally isn't this what UAV's are perfect for, high altitude, long endurance, relativly basic mission profiles? Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to talk down Sentinel, I just don't see why we are going that way in the current climate, especially when our war buddies already have the capability.
Mr Sinner,
See where your going with that, I think. No I am not Press, not that it would matter as this is an open forum? I am just interested in how the big new toys will fit in our "Golf Bag", what will they actually do for us.
BTW I don\'t want to drag this thread into another slag fest as that benifits no one.
